The devastated family of missing woman Tina Satchwell have rejected claims that she went on holiday to England.

The Cork woman, 45, vanished eight months ago and is described as “a high risk missing person’s case”.

In an online appeal for information relations say they want to clear up certain claims about her whereabouts.

Her husband Richard who was the last person known to see her claims she left of her own accord.

But in a Facebook page set up by other concerned family members, they wrote: “Tina’s husband believes she in the UK with family we have two family members in England and she has had no contact with either of them.

“We as a family of course have checked with all our family friends and the Gardai have spoken to these family members also, so I just wanted to clear this information up.”

Richard, however, told a Sunday newspaper: “I believe she’s in the UK where she has quite a large family.

“I actually have money put away for when she returns so that we can head off together for a few weeks break.”
